Introduction
Floor grout can easily lose its original shine and become dull, stained, or dirty over time. But what if you could restore it with minimal effort? This quick and effective one-swipe trick will transform your grout, making it look brand-new without hours of scrubbing. Using everyday household items and a touch of technique, you’ll bring back the sparkle to your floors in no time.
Ingredients
To lighten your grout with this method, gather the following supplies:
1 cup baking soda
1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide
1 tablespoon dish soap (optional for extra grease-cutting power)
A small scrub brush or old toothbrush
A clean cloth or sponge
Directions
Prepare the Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix the baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap until it forms a paste.
Apply to the Grout:
Use a brush or sponge to apply the paste generously to the grout lines.
Let it Sit:
Allow the paste to sit for 5–10 minutes. This gives the ingredients time to break down stains and dirt.
The One-Swipe Trick:
Dampen a clean cloth or sponge with warm water. Gently wipe over the grout lines in a single swipe. You’ll see the dirt lifting away effortlessly.
Final Rinse:
Rinse the area with clean water to remove any residue.
Serving and Storage Tips
For best results, clean your grout every 3–6 months to maintain its brightness.
Leftover paste can be stored in a sealed container for up to a week but is best used fresh.
